What's Just Happened In The UK?

The United Kingdom Parliament is tearing itself apart in full public view in the run up to Brexit.

21 Members of Parliament were thrown out of the Conservative party for voting against a motion in the House. Those losing government support include Sir Nicholas Soames, the grandson of Winston Churchill, and two former Chancellors of the Exchequer. This took away the majority in the House from one, into negative territory, currently minus 43.

Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn might want a new general election, although both say they don’t.

DEBATE: The Green New Deal Vs. Neoliberalism!

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act means we have more people than even in full-time employment and the labor market is threatened by the far-left, according to Elaine Parker. More jobs than people to fill them.

Why Big Agriculture Is The Biggest Obstacle To Solving Climate Change

Is big agriculture the biggest obstacle to solving climate change? Chemical intensive agriculture is kicking our planet and actually contributing to world hunger.

The deforestation in Brazil is contributing to CO2.

Why is the US federal government promoting the industrializing of land and pushing the same in other countries. Small scale farmers around the world are being pushed to increase in size and use chemicals produced in the US. Seed companies want farmers to not save seeds for the next year but buy fresh seed every year. There is nothing climate smart or sustainable about that.

Timothy A. Wise joined Thom to explain the policies and what is going wrong.

Why Warren’s Plan To Lift Millions From Poverty Scares The Rich

Elizabeth Warren has a plan to lift millions of seniors out of poverty, and so far the plan has been met with fear from the media and the rich!

For decades, progressives have been talking about eliminating the cap on the Social Security tax and raising Social Security benefits enough that retired and disabled people can actually survive. It makes no sense that working-class people have to pay Social Security tax on 100% of their income and a billionaire might pay the Social Security tax on less than 1% of his income, At the same time, seniors are rationing medicine and literally eating dog food.

Warren wants to use the money from removing the cap to give everybody on Social Security a $200 a month raise, which will lift 5 million seniors out of poverty, cut the senior poverty rate by 68%, and provide a strong stimulus to the economy because virtually every penny of that money will rapidly be spent.

It’s time that wealthy people pay their fair share of Social Security taxes, and disabled and retired Americans who are struggling to get by in this Reaganomics economy don’t have to make decisions like, “Do I buy food or do I buy my prescriptions?”
